Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR)

The Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) training gives you the knowledge and skills needed to configure, troubleshoot, and manage enterprise wired and wireless networks. You’ll also learn how to implement security principles, automation, and programmability within an enterprise network, and overlay network design by using Cisco SD-Access and SD-WAN solutions. This training prepares you for the 350-401 ENCOR v1.1 exam. If passed, you earn the Cisco Certified Specialist – Enterprise Core certification and satisfy the core exam requirements for the Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) Enterprise, Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE) Enterprise Infrastructure, and CCIE Enterprise Wireless certifications. This training also earns you 64 Con
